Day 1407: Weather or Not

"Freezing rain ran in rivulets down backpackers' faces, dripped off chins and began a journey inside rain jackets, producing shivers and goosebumps."  It's one of my favorite first lines in the whole book.      I also like "Julienne potatoes sat like a yellow lump in a pool of icy water."  In fact, the weather chapter is one of my favorites.  Kids slogging through slashing rain, dense fog, blistering heat, sleet and high winds make for great stories. It took four and a half hours to polish it off and add a conclusion, but I'm delighted with the chapter.
